अर्व॑न्तो॒ न श्रव॑सो॒ भिक्ष॑माणा इन्द्रवा॒यू सु॑ष्टु॒तिभि॒र्वसि॑ष्ठाः । वा॒ज॒यन्तः॒ स्वव॑से हुवेम यू॒यं पा॑त स्व॒स्तिभिः॒ सदा॑ नः
arvanto na śravaso bhikṣamāṇā indravāyū suṣṭutibhirvasiṣṭhāḥ vājayantaḥ svavase huvema yūyaṃ pāta svastibhiḥ sadā naḥ
You who come not as beggars nor as suppliants — Indra and Vāyu, bestowers of praise, most excellent. Traveling with victorious might, we invoke you: protect us with auspiciousness always.
We, Vasiṣṭhas (bearing oblations) like horses (bearing burdens), soliciting food, desiring strength,invoke with praises Indra and Vāyu for our sure defence; do you ever cherish us with blessings.
Like coursers seeking fame will we Vasisthas, O Indra-Vayu, with our fair laudations, Exerting all our powe-,, call you to aid us. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.
